power beyond

Can anyone tell me what the power beyond option is ? Thanks

The power beyond kit is a rear hydraulic connection. It consists of two hardpipe banjo connections that lead to the back of the tractor and mount on a bracket. The kit also includes quick connects for implements and a shorting hose for the open center system. I have one on my 990 that I use for my log splitter.

I can tell by your question you are new to the hydraulics on a tractor. I was there not too long ago, and I too, was thoroughly confused by this option before I bought my 4310.. Everyone here gives great, but sometimes way too technical explanations for the average newbie. Let me attempt to explain (and the veterans of this board can correct me if I am wrong)

Remotes (also referred to as SCV) are valves where the (flow or operation) is <font color="red">CONTROLLED </font> by something like a joystick. This is used for front end loaders, etc. You move the stick, the loader reacts accordingly.

Power beyond is a connection to the hydraulic system where the flow is <font color="green"> NOT CONTROLLED</font> . You would use this with an implement that had it's own flow (or operation) control, such as a backhoe.

I just put the kit on my 990 as well. Keep in mind that a power beyond connection by itself does NOT give you extra useable remotes. It's just a tap into the main hydraulic loop. You must add your own external open center valve(s), quick connects, and the associated plumbing to make use of a power beyond connection.
